Smoke curled from the city wall. The dog-headed men had not eaten for two days. As their new master, Tian Ye would certainly not be stingy in storing abundant food. After the meal, the dog-headed men felt very satisfied. Tian Ye hurriedly ate and returned to the arrow tower again. Now he knew that the current situation was definitely not a long-term solution. If he allowed this group of humans to build siege equipment, then his city wall would definitely not be able to be defended. Now there was no long-range attack, and there was no other way to deal with this group of humans. He couldn't beat the hateful third-level human knight. This situation made Tian Ye feel very troubled. This human must be different from the jackal leader. The human must be more cunning. His body has not yet recovered to its best condition. Without the continuous release of spells, his body is still a little weak. How can he kill this human lord? Now it has become Tian Ye's biggest problem.

Suddenly, Tian Ye had an idea, and seemed to have seen a magic array in the elementary magic collection. This giant magic array is an absorption array that gathers the energy of heaven and earth. Once this magic array is opened, the energy of heaven and earth in it will be 10 times that of normal heaven and earth. However, such a strong magic array is very difficult to complete even for magicians above level . However, the lines of this magic array are not complicated. The key is that the person who draws it must not have any emotional fluctuations, and the thickness of the lines connecting the magic array must be consistent. In this way, the energy can be evenly gathered to ensure the long-term operation of the magic array. Otherwise, if the thickness is not uniform, energy blockage is likely to occur, and then an explosion will occur. Although this is a good way to improve one's strength, the current conditions do not allow it, because there are no important objects for making magic arrays, such as ink for drawing lines for magic arrays made of various rare minerals. Looking at this complicated requirement, Tian Ye simply gave up. Now is not the time to study this at all, and it is impossible for him to learn this magic array in a short time.

At this moment, the sound of a horn from the human camp suddenly came from afar. Judging from the horn, it was a gathering horn. "The siege equipment is ready so quickly, and we are going to attack our city wall." Tian Ye quickly came out of the arrow tower and looked into the distance. Not only his inner elixir was strengthened, but also all the organs of his body. If the eyes could see nearly a thousand meters before, now even things 1500 meters away can be seen clearly. The human camp quickly assembled. After all the human cavalry put on their armor, they sat on their two-headed magic horses, and then lined up in neat steps, standing still in the direction behind them. Yes, they were facing away from Tian Ye. Tian Ye was confused for a moment. This didn't seem like the rhythm of an attack. If the attack was on his side, it must be against him.

"Rig, send your scouts out to see what's going on," Tian Ye, who didn't know what was going on, gave the order.

"It's my most beloved and respected High Priest." Rig ran out quickly.

Looking at the human camp in the distance, Tian Ye suddenly thought that if he could subdue a flying monster, it would become his clairvoyance. In the sky, he would be able to see everything that was happening.

Just beyond the sight of the field, more than a dozen different orc tribes were walking towards the humans. Each team was of different sizes, some with about a thousand people, and some with as many as four or five thousand. They were not wearing armor, but they all held their own weapons. Leading the way was a team of a thousand tiger people. The tiger people's heads were no different from those of tigers, and their strong bodies were even more muscular and thick. A long tiger tail was left behind, and the skin was different from that of normal orcs, with black and yellow stripes. The fangs in their mouths were long and pointed, and there was a big prince carved in the middle of their heads. Behind them were a large number of vassals of various tribes, lizard people, wolf-headed people, pig-headed people, etc.

"Your Excellency the Priest, Your Excellency the Priest, we don't have to face these human cavalrymen." A dog-headed man, who had just been hoisted up from the city wall in a hanging basket, hurried to Tian Ye who was standing by and waiting, and reported.

"What do you mean by that? Why don't I understand?"

"It's the orcs. Several groups of orcs sent their troops and surrounded the valley entrance outside. Look at those damn humans, they are gathered together now and look how nervous they are."

"You are talking about people from other tribes. Why are they here?" Tian Ye was confused for a moment and didn't know what was going on. However, from what the dog-headed man said, it might be reinforcements that came to help him.

"My Lord Priest, I have heard of such things before. After the battle several decades ago, there were still some wars on the border between the two countries. At that time, when one tribe was in trouble, other tribes would come to help. Although they belonged to different races, the orcs at that time were still relatively united. Regardless of the usual conquests between races, once there was an invasion by a foreign race, they would unite to fight against the foreign enemy. This is what they had to do, because it was impossible for one race alone to fight against humans, as the number of humans was too large." Rig said.

Richard, the human lord of Holy Light City, looked at several orc teams coming from afar. He was originally ambitious but became a little discouraged. He still had 5000 to 6000 men under his command. Such a team could not deal with an orc team of nearly 2000 people, not to mention the subordinates of the pig-headed man. If the subordinates of the pig-headed man rushed up, there would be at least 2000 people. Such a gap in the team could not be made up by heavy armor. If his nearly heavy cavalry were lost here, it would be a problem for him to maintain the stability of the territory. Although there are no other forces in the territory now, he is not the only one in the Holy Light City. There are also several powerful groups, such as the Mercenary Guild and the Mage Guild. Although these forces usually do not participate in the fight, if they are weak, they cannot control these guilds. And the heavy cavalry cannot be trained in a short time. There are infantry in his territory, but infantry does not have much advantage against orcs. Even if they are wearing armor, they may not be the opponent of orcs, because orcs are usually taller, stronger, and more agile than humans. This cannot be compensated by wearing armor alone. It must be overwhelmed by the advantage in numbers, but he cannot afford more soldiers. So Richard is ready to retreat. Now it is not a question of whether Richard will retreat or not, but whether these orcs will let him retreat.

"Send someone to the front to negotiate with the group of orcs that came later and see what they want to do." Richard said to see what they wanted to do. In fact, it was obvious that this group of orcs came to fight him. He also knew that he might be in trouble this time. If he withdrew after killing the jackals, nothing would happen. And now he was living in the orcs' place. Even if the imperial capital knew that he would die here, he would not get support.

Two fast horses quickly rushed out of Richard's team. The humans still knew the rules of the orcs. They did not go to other teams, but went directly to the team of the tiger-headed people. The tiger man was the king among the orcs, and all the subsequent races obeyed the tiger man's orders.

The tiger leader looked at the two humans and didn't care or meet them. He just suppressed them. The tiger leader was waiting for all the teams to arrive at the assembly point. He was not going to let go of the human who crossed the border. This was a provocation to the tiger people. If he did nothing, then his leadership authority would be lost.

"Why hasn't he come back yet? It's only a few steps away." Richard had already discovered something was wrong. The envoy he sent out did not return to report the situation after only a few steps. There were two possibilities. The first was that his envoy was killed, and the other was that his envoy was negotiating with the other party. However, a negotiation would not take so much time, so the probability of the first situation was greater.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo" Before Richard could finish his thought, a horn sounded, and Richard looked closely and saw that the orcs were moving. Having fought with orcs for many years, he knew that the horn meant attack. As the horn sounded, five teams surrounded Richard's team.

"Damn orcs, they actually want to eat us." Richard never expected that his negligence would bring himself and his army into danger. At this time, Richard had no confidence in defeating the group of orcs in front of him. The reason was simple. The other side must have warriors who were comparable to himself or even stronger. In that case, there would be no advantage in numbers, and the combat power would be equal. It would be impossible to defeat the enemy with the advantage in weapons alone.

The sound of the horn was long and melodious, and then became urgent. All the orc troops quickened their pace, following the sound of the horn and rushing towards Richard's heavy cavalry team that had already taken a defensive posture.

"Man on horseback" looked at the rapidly advancing orc team. Richard knew that he could not wait any longer. Now the only hope was to rush out. If he could not rush out, the whole army would be annihilated here. This was beyond doubt. The cavalry must rush up to have a strong impact. The first moment after getting on the horse, Richard's heavy cavalry lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse began to run. All the horses' eyes were covered with black cloth. This time it was a life-and-death fight, and there could be no retreat. When the distance was about 100 meters, all the whips whipped the horse's buttocks vigorously, and the horse began to accelerate frantically. However, the heavy cavalry was greeted by a wave of arrow rain, nearly people, sika deer-headed people, arrows, shot at the running heavy cavalry. Although it did not cause much damage, dozens of riders fell off their horses, followed by the second wave of arrow rain, and then the third wave. After these three waves of sword rain, more than heavy cavalry were lost.

Tian Ye stood on the city wall, watching the battle in the distance. He had no intention of moving any men or horses, for the simple reason that he didn't know whether these orcs were friends or enemies. Although they helped him indirectly, no one could tell whether these guys would rush towards him if he opened the city gate at this moment.

The orcs' team and Richard's heavy cavalry came into contact. The cavalry rushed into the orcs' team like a steel torrent. In front of the tiger men were nearly a thousand minotaur warriors. The minotaur warriors were strong, holding huge axes in their hands, and a row of giant chevaux de frise in front of them. The first row of cavalry jumped up and rushed into the orcs' team, knocking down the minotaurs behind them. However, this also slowed down the cavalry's charge speed. Although there was only one row of chevaux de frise, it was fatal to the not-so-large cavalry. Once they hit the giant horse, the whole horse and the man would be chopped into two by the minotaur's huge axe. The heavy cavalry was no longer such a big threat after the speed was reduced. The tiger-headed men behind them jumped out from behind. Not only were they strong, but they also had amazing jumping ability. They could jump up and have a head-on confrontation with the humans on horseback. The daggers in the hands of the tiger-headed men were extremely sharp, and each of them was very agile. Almost every knife they struck had a tricky angle. It was obvious that they were not a race like the minotaurs who fought with strength. The tiger-headed men mostly defeated the opponent with skills. The battle lasted only about half an hour, and the 1500 heavy cavalry were killed by more than orcs of different races led by the tiger men. In the end, only Richard was left.

The tiger leader waved his hand, and all the races stopped attacking. The tiger leader came to the front of the team, facing Chad, and laughed, "I guess you are the lord of Holy Light Ridge. I didn't expect that the peace maintained for decades would be broken by a tiny human like you. You dared to cross the border and send heavy cavalry to attack and kill my orcs. Do you really think that I, the orcs, dare not touch you? You cowardly humans, wearing heavy armor, are not the opponent of our brave orcs. How about it now? Do you regret it?"

“Hahaha, I just want to kill all of you damn orcs, the gnolls just now, and this pig-headed tribe later. But you only rely on your large numbers. If you didn’t have a large number of people, I wouldn’t have lost so thoroughly.”

"It's useless to talk about success and failure. Now I'm giving you one chance. If you defeat me, I'll let you go back to your territory. Otherwise, this will be your grave."

"Okay, I'd also like to see the skills of the tiger chieftain." The two men were not on the same page. The tiger chieftain rode the tiger-shaped monster under his feet and galloped towards Richard who was riding the two-headed mammoth. The speed of the two was comparable and they soon caught up with each other. Richard stabbed out with the lance in his hand, and the tiger chieftain jumped high to avoid the lance's thrust. The dagger in his hand, like a nimble monkey, flew up and down, climbed onto the end of the lance, and slashed directly at Richard's hand. A third-level warrior would obviously not be so careless, and the moment he retracted the lance, he was already prepared. Seeing the dagger coming, he blocked it with an outward knock of the lance. After that, the two men passed each other and opened up the distance again.
